    ZTC4 alloy prepared by electron beam melting was hot isostatically pressed, the macro-and microstructure were characterized by stereo microscopy and optical microscopy, the tensile properties were tested and the fracture profiles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The results show that: The vertical deposition samples exhibit coarsen epitaxial columnar grains and the parallel samples show equiaxed grains, and microstructure are basket-weave α+β phase. The vertical deposition samples exhibit very high ultimate tensile strength and yield strength but poor ductility with elongation and shrinkage, and show generally more planar and faceted fracture morphology. The anisotropy in tensile properties is mainly due to the difference in the orientation of the columnar grains with respect to the tensile test direction, and the characteristics of the minor fracture plane are mainly related to the α colonies.
